The Credit Report Basics
Your credit score, and your criminal record. Both depend on your past actions, both can make you or break you, and both follow you around for a really long time. But, only you, and maybe your lawyer, know your criminal record. Your credit score is a whole other story. It can be pulled when you apply for a new credit card, go for that new job, try to get a new car, or even try to move in to a new place.
